The Code 999 sequence is full of weird allusions positioning Asuka and Eva-02 as Lilith figures. First the sealing pillar is ejected from Asuka's eye in imitation of Eva-01 bursting from Lilith's, and Asuka leans sharply backward like Lilith did. (1/5)

Eva-13 begins bound to a red crucifix in a chamber full of amber-colored LCL. Then, with the three cuts of it rising, the sense of deja vu really starts working overtime. In what sense is Eva-13 comparable to EoE's Lilith...? #evangelion #visualparallels

I'm not sure how serious I am with this one, but it's kind of funny, if nothing else. #evangelion #visualparallels

With both of these having an upside-down orientation and an "Earth seen from space" backdrop, it lands on the side of "intentional" for me. Getting actual meaning out of the comparison is a whole other thing, though...

The movement of the 3DCG model for Eva-02 is of course nowhere near as dynamic as the hand(-drawn) animation for Lilith, but do note the similar pose, and how the tip of Eva-02's ring finger cheekily "touches" Maya's head.

First up -- Eva-02 "is" Lilith! (See follow-up post if you don't believe me.) Interesting contrast here is that GNR ascended from below, whereas Eva-02 is being lowered down. The orientation of the hands reflects this difference in directionality.
